Big wine optimisation

The EU is the most important producer of wine in the world in terms of value. The sector consists of more than 2.4 million vine growers, in small and medium-sized enterprises mostly. At the same time the wine sector is put under pressure by new wine producing countries such as China and the US. In order to keep the EU’s competitive advantage, wine producers in the EU need to innovate. Precision viticulture and remote vineyard monitoring are two promising new cultivation methods.
